Bite Me (Stopped)

Chapter 4 Night Club

++++++Conall's POV++++++

I looked over my phone. We had recently exchange our numbers to each other. I wonder if I should give him a text. But I don't want to seem clingy...I thought miserably. I picked up my phone and pressed random buttons. Should I or should I not? Then a thought hit me, there's a party in the club this Friday. I'll invite him! I hummed happily to myself oblivious of my mom watching. "Hmm..." She smirked at me. "Whatcha doin?" I turned around quickly in surprise. "Mom! Don't sneak up on me like that." I gulped. She laughed at me. "I see...hahahahaha." I rolled my eyes at her. When she left I went back to my phone. What should I say?

Me: Hey, it's Conall. Just trying to make sure I got the ryt number.

Him: U got the ryt number.

Me: Are u home already?

Him: No not yet.

Me: I see, if you don't mind, me and the rest of the group are going to this club called Spice. Want to come along? It will be mostly dancing. They r having a glow in the dark paint party. Idk all the details but it's supposed to be fun.

Him: Sure. When is it?

Me: Friday.

Him: I gtg.

Me: K

Well, I invited him...Why did he have to go so soon? I ran my hands over my head. "I'm going out." I shouted to the kitchen, knowing someone in the family will be there. "Okay, have a safe trip." My grandmother yelled back at me. She's the one mostly in the kitchen if not in the forest.

I headed for my friends and I's usual spot. It's a secret hide away. I found it with Chad. We had agreed that only trusted friends can enter that place. You could say it was a little haven. The location is surrounded by vines and trees. At first, looking at it from the outside, it's just a wall of vines. There could be nothing behind it except a wall of rock. But most people won't even think about it that far. They'll just ignore it. Inside the thick curtains of vines you'll see a small clear and pure pond. The ground is carpentered with soft moss. Raised flat rocks here and there, fashioned like a bed, covered with a cushion like moss. Near by the pond is a tall strong and elegant willow tree. It's branches sweeps down, barely touching the pond. And if you look up you'll see the sky.

We've wondered what will happen if someone from above looks down and happens to find this place. We had tried to find a path that will lead them to the opening. We didn't find one. It's been a long time and we haven't been found. At first it was just Chad and me, and then we had Casey. She was our first member. We had befriended her first though. Next was Eric. The last one was Maria. She had recently been accepted. That was when Chad and she were mated. Chad and Maria are 20 years old, I'm 18 going to 19 in three months, Casey is 18 and so is Eric. Our age differences are only in months.

As I entered the sacred place I saw that Maria and Casey had already arrived. They seemed to be talking over serious problems. I coughed, announcing my arrival. I didn't want to just quietly enter and over hear something I shouldn't. Casey looked as if she was ready to cry. Maria nodded at me, signaling for me to come. I did. Casey had explained everything to Maria. She told me that she'll only spill the beans when Casey allows her to, soon after Eric and Chad came. Casey had wiped her tears and put on her strong appearance. The other guys were clueless. After gathering, we went to town.

We just did the usual. We were about to go to Mr. Burgers, it's a popular restaurant where they serve mostly burgers and French fries when we happened to meet the guy from yesterday. He looked so relieved and happy when he saw Casey. He started to approach her step by step but she only steps back. He'll move closer, she'll move back. Her eyes were pleading to him. Not wanting to cause any trouble I stopped him. "Who are you and what do you want?" I asked in a demanding tone, stepping in front of Casey.
